Maybe there's a way to keep us in this moment. Not the sad part. But the coming together part.
David Levithan
There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don't see each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy
David Levithan
I've worn black today, because I've heard so often that it's supposed to be slimming. But instead I am this sphere of darkness submarining through the halls.

seven wonders of the world and I have to ask for an eighth fill a bottle with some prayers and spend them on hope create an easy route just so I can complicate send my heart down that slippery slope

Pink is female - but why? Are girls any more pink than boys? Are boys any more blue than girls? It's something that has been sold to us, mostly so other things can be sold to us.

lying awake beside you, these thoughts run through my head.

It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
